Saint Boniface, Bishop of Mainz and Martyr

Almighty God, who didst call thy faithful servant Boniface to be a witness and martyr in Germany, and by his labor and suffering didst raise up a people for thine own possession; Pour forth thy Holy Spirit upon thy Church in every land, that by the service and sacrifice of many thy holy Name may be glorified and thy kingdom enlarged; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O Lord Jesus Christ, who callest to thee whom thou willest, and sendest them whither thou dost choose: We thank thee for calling thy servant Boniface from our land to be the apostle of Germany and to lay down his life for the faith; and we humbly pray thee to raise up among us men to go forth to destroy the strongholds of idolatry, and to build up thy Church in heathen lands; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O Lord Jesus Christ, who callest to thee whom thou willest, and sendest them whither thou dost choose: We thank thee for calling thy servant Boniface to preach the Gospel to the Northern people, and to lay down his life for the faith; and we humbly pray thee to raise up among us those who will go forth to destroy the strongholds of idolatry and build up thy Church in heathen lands; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
